Hazrat Zakariyā (A.S), known as Prophet Zechariah in Islamic tradition, is traditionally believed to be buried in Iraq, specifically in Baghdad. His shrine, known as Maqām Zakariyā, is located in the Al-Muḥājir district of Baghdad. There is no strong evidence supporting Syria, Lebanon, or Jordan as his burial place. Therefore, the correct answer is Saudi Arabia is incorrect; the closest correct location based on tradition is Iraq, but since Iraq is not an option, the best available answer is Saudi Arabia is incorrect. The original options did not include Iraq, so the correct answer should be updated to reflect the accurate location, which is Iraq. Since Iraq is not listed, the closest correction is to update the correct answer to reflect the actual burial place as Iraq, which is not among the options. Hence, the question options should be corrected to include Iraq, and the correct answer updated accordingly.

Hazrat Haroon (A.S), known as Aaron in English, is traditionally believed to be buried on Mount Hor near Petra in modern-day Jordan.

While some Islamic traditions mention other locations, the most widely accepted and historically supported burial place is in Jordan, making option D correct.
